Huckabee for the GOP and Obama for the Dems. I 'sort of' predicted Huckabee as I could see his late surge. Obama though - I was not sure if he could hold the surge he clearly gained in early December - looks like he did. Of course, this means very little, but it does set... Continue Reading →

An odd tidbit (I seem to be full of those!). On DailyKos there is another member there who shares my birthday (1/3/65). His user name? Kestrel9000! He is known for posting pictures of my most favorite bird in Cheers&Jeers. Interesting how we share that isn't it?

Consumer Reports (sort of)
First, one of the irritants in my life - clothing tags. Yes, it seems like a small thing. No, it isn't something to write your congressperson about. Yes, I know there could be much much worse things. However, if you are sensitive to them as I am, you *know* what Big Thing it can be.... Continue Reading →
A tribute
Funny how things work out. A year ago I had no idea who Benazir Bhutto was. Then I saw a feature story and interview of her on Dan Rather Reports in August of this year.
